The Rest was Magic {Maternity Shoot}

Our last two favorite photographers moved away, so when my mom came across Jamie Rubeis Photography on Facebook, I couldn't wait to see her work. I checked out her website and was blown away by some of her portraits. She really is amazing with natural lighting and making her subjects look fabulous in the process. I booked a shoot with her instantly and couldn't wait to use the shots for our Christmas cards.

Fast forward to a few weeks before our shoot...we were pregnant (finally)! I decided to push the shoot back and scheduled a maternity shoot for March instead. As the date approached, Jamie sent me some links to shoots she has done previously at different locations around the valley. I had also been following her on Instagram and loving every new shoot she had been posting more and more. When I saw her past photos from Corn Creek, I knew that was our spot. It looked so beautiful, and I couldn't wait to find outfits for us all to wear. I shopped online for a couple of weeks until I found the perfect styles, and ordered everything to come in ahead of time, just in case.

Everything was coming together perfectly, and I was getting more excited by the day. When it finally arrived, we spent the morning at a parade, so everyone napped afterwards. This was perfect since our shoot wasn't until four o'clock. I got them all up and dressed, and we made our way out there. We found Jamie instantly, and the rest was magic.

She was so easy to work with, had the best ideas, and took some unbelievable photos. As soon as I saw the first one, I knew I would love them all. Enjoy some of our favorite shots as we prepare to welcome another little girl into our family that is already so full of love.

(I mean, really?! These girls can't get any cuter!)

(These daddy/daughter ones melt me every time.)

(Grace insisted on this heart photo.)

I am so grateful for all of these images. Jamie did a fabulous job, and we are so in love with them. I feel like these pictures show the love that we all have for one another so beautifully. I cannot wait to have her do another shoot for us after Perry arrives and our family is finally complete (for now...).

Check out some more of Jamie's work here and here. You'll love it all, I promise!

When we were younger, Isaac always said he wanted six kids. I always said I saw myself with three girls (weird, right?). After we had Grace and Charley, we settled on the idea of having four. We talked about waiting a few years after Charley was born and then having two more, so the first two would be close and the second two would be close.
Fast forward a few years and along came Perry. We had to work for her, though. We tried for fourteen months and then had a miscarriage before getting pregnant with that little sassy pants. Since we wanted our fourth baby to be close in age to her, we started trying a few months before she turned two. We got pregnant in March only to have another miscarriage. I was pretty numb for a couple of months until it finally hit me one day. We had stopped trying and just had the feeling of "it'll happen if it's meant to".
In August, we started the keto diet, and I read that it can throw your cycle off the first couple of months. I had lo…

Perry spent the day with Grandma Sunshine, Papa Craig, and Paxton on Monday. They played at the park and checked out some horses. Perry had so much fun and now keeps telling me that she is going to Grandma's instead of school.

Grace and Char's school had a fundraiser, and Charley's class did so well that they got to have a popsicle party on Tuesday.

She had soccer practice, and Perry thought the practice was for her. She loves to play soccer with her big sisters.

The girls had superhero day, and Charley wore her Wonder Woman shirt.

We headed up to Pine Valley to go camping on Friday after work. It's easily my favorite place to camp as my dad always took me there as a kid. I have so many fun memories of skipping rocks, fishing in the creek, listening to raccoons ravage through our groceries, and making scones around the campfire. I want my girls to have the same memories, and it's also nice to get them away from their iPa…

We caught a beautiful sunrise on our way to school Monday morning. We're getting to the point where it's going to be dark when we leave the house soon.

Char had soccer practice, and the sky was all sorts of pretty colors.

We made fajitas for dinner, and nothing beats the smell of peppers and onions sizzling.

Perry was a goofball in the car while we waited for sisters to get back from school.

We drove to Springs Preserve on Saturday for a fun day with our field trip group, and Perry insisted on wearing Daddy's glasses the whole way.

We had bunless cheeseburgers and berries for lunch.

Perry napped in bed, while I watched the Sooners play some football.

We had a date night with some friends that night, and the drinks and tapas at Firefly were delish. After dinner, we headed to the Fiesta where we ended up in the bingo room. It was my first time, and I couldn't believe how fast they go. I could barely keep up with my dobber, let al…
